We’re so stoked to introduce our brand-spanking-new iPad app, which is available for FREE right now on the Apple AppStore. It’s pretty sweet. Here’s five reasons why we heart it:

1. The Maps! Did we ever mention we’re actually kind of geographically challenged? Well, we are, and the app’s interactive maps make finding hotels — or a specific landmark — a cinch. Want a hotel that’s actually on the Northern coast of the Big Island, that’s really on the beach? Done.

2. The HUGE Pictures. We pride ourselves on our amazing — and real — hotel photography. Swiping through them on the app enables you to see a hotel’s main features in mere seconds, and they look pretty effin’ glossy on our iPad screen. Just saying.

3. The Filters. Ever want to stay in a hotel with room service and a private balcony? Our app makes it a non-issue with just a few taps.

4. In-App Booking. You know how some travel sites open a bazillion windows when you’ve found the hotel you want to book? Not here. It’s seamless.

Our app's seamless transition from Oyster to a booking agent makes planning your next trip easier than ever.

5. The Quirky Collections. We’ve made it easier than ever to have fun with hotels — check out spots where celebs have had affairs, hotels that have been designed by the best in the biz, and ones that offer everything “green” — even the shower water.
